  • Blind Denoising Autoencoder
    1 Blind Denoising Autoencoder Angshul Majumdar In recent times a handful of papers have been published on Abstract—The term ‘blind denoising’ refers to the fact that the autoencoders used for signal denoising [10-13]. These basis used for denoising is learnt from the noisy sample itself techniques learn the autoencoder model on a training set and during denoising. Dictionary learning and transform learning uses the trained model to denoise new test samples. Unlike the based formulations for blind denoising are well known. But there has been no autoencoder based solution for the said blind dictionary learning and transform learning based approaches, denoising approach. So far autoencoder based denoising the autoencoder based methods were not blind; they were not formulations have learnt the model on a separate training data learning the model from the signal at hand. and have used the learnt model to denoise test samples. Such a The main disadvantage of such an approach is that, one methodology fails when the test image (to denoise) is not of the never knows how good the learned autoencoder will same kind as the models learnt with. This will be first work, generalize on unseen data. In the aforesaid studies [10-13] where we learn the autoencoder from the noisy sample while denoising. Experimental results show that our proposed method training was performed on standard dataset of natural images performs better than dictionary learning (K-SVD), transform (image-net / CIFAR) and used to denoise natural images.

Voigt fitting is used to extract and compare the Lorentzian and Gaussian linewidths and associated sources of noise. The respective measurements are wL (MZI) = (1.6 ± 0.2) kHz and wL (MI) = (1.4 ± 0.1) kHz. The Michelson with Faraday rotator mirrors gives a slightly narrower linewidth with significantly reduced error.

ABGN is a (AWGN) model. model that for a fraction of time is a low power noise and for the remaining time is a high power (impulsive) noise. In this context, In this regard, we introduce the definition of a simple and we investigate the usefulness of the ABGN as a model for the useful mathematical model for the noise perturbing the data additive noise in PLC systems, using samples of noise registered transmission over PLC channel that would be a helpful tool. during a measurement campaign. A general procedure to find the With this goal in mind, an investigation of the usefulness of model parameters, namely, the noise power and the impulsiveness what we call additive Bernoulli-Gaussian noise (ABGN) as a factor is presented.

  • Measurement and Estimation of the Mode Partition Coefficient K
    Measurement and Estimation of the Mode Partition Coefficient k Rick Pimpinella and Jose Castro IEEE P802.3bm 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s Fiber Optic Task Force November 2012, San Antonio, TX Background & Objective Background: Mode Partition Noise in MMF channel links is caused by pulse-to-pulse power fluctuations among VCSEL modes and differential delay due to dispersion in the fiber (Power independent penalty) “k” is an index used to describe the degree of mode fluctuations and takes on a value between 0 and 1, called the mode partition coefficient [1,2] Currently the IEEE link model assumes k = 0.3 It has been discussed that a new link model requires validation of k The measurement & estimation of k is challenging due to several conditions: Low sensitivity of detectors at 850nm The presence of additional noise components in VCSEL-MMF channels (RIN, MN, Jitter – intensity fluctuations, reflection noise, thermal noise, …) Differences in VCSEL designs Objective: Provide an experimental estimate of the value of k for VCSELs Additional work in progress 2 MPN Theory Originally derived for Fabry-Perot lasers and SMF [3] Assumptions: Total power of all modes carried by each pulse is constant Power fluctuations among modes are anti-correlated Mechanism: When modes (different wavelengths) travel at the same speed their fluctuations remain anti-correlated and the resultant pulse-to-pulse noise is zero. When modes travel in a dispersive medium the modes undergo different delays resulting in pulse distortions and a noise penalty. Example: Two VCSEL modes transmitted in a SMF undergoing chromatic dispersion: START END Optical Waveform @ Detector START t END With mode power fluctuations Decision Region Shorter Wavelength Time (arrival) t slope DL Time (arrival) Longer Wavelength Time (arrival) 3 Example of Intensity Fluctuation among VCSEL modes MPN can be observed using an Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA).

  • Background Noise, Noise Sensitivity, and Attitudes Towards Neighbours, and a Subjective Experiment Using a Rubber Ball Impact Sound
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Background Noise, Noise Sensitivity, and Attitudes towards Neighbours, and a Subjective Experiment Using a Rubber Ball Impact Sound Jeongho Jeong Fire Insurers Laboratories of Korea, 1030 Gyeongchungdae-ro, Yeoju-si 12661, Korea; [email protected]; Tel.: +82-31-887-6737 Abstract: When children run and jump or adults walk indoors, the impact sounds conveyed to neighbouring households have relatively high energy in low-frequency bands. The experience of and response to low-frequency floor impact sounds can differ depending on factors such as the duration of exposure, the listener’s noise sensitivity, and the level of background noise in housing complexes. In order to study responses to actual floor impact sounds, it is necessary to investigate how the response is affected by changes in the background noise and differences in the response when focusing on other tasks. In this study, the author presented subjects with a rubber ball impact sound recorded from different apartment buildings and housings and investigated the subjects’ responses to varying levels of background noise and when they were assigned tasks to change their level of attention on the presented sound. The subjects’ noise sensitivity and response to their neighbours were also compared. The results of the subjective experiment showed differences in the subjective responses depending on the level of background noise, and high intensity rubber ball impact sounds were associated with larger subjective responses. In addition, when subjects were performing a Citation: Jeong, J.

  • Image Denoising by Autoencoder: Learning Core Representations
    Image Denoising by AutoEncoder: Learning Core Representations Zhenyu Zhao College of Engineering and Computer Science, The Australian National University, Australia, [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we implement an image denoising method which can be generally used in all kinds of noisy images. We achieve denoising process by adding Gaussian noise to raw images and then feed them into AutoEncoder to learn its core representations(raw images itself or high-level representations).We use pre- trained classifier to test the quality of the representations with the classification accuracy. Our result shows that in task-specific classification neuron networks, the performance of the network with noisy input images is far below the preprocessing images that using denoising AutoEncoder. In the meanwhile, our experiments also show that the preprocessed images can achieve compatible result with the noiseless input images. Keywords: Image Denoising, Image Representations, Neuron Networks, Deep Learning, AutoEncoder. 1 Introduction 1.1 Image Denoising Image is the object that stores and reflects visual perception. Images are also important information carriers today. Acquisition channel and artificial editing are the two main ways that corrupt observed images. The goal of image restoration techniques [1] is to restore the original image from a noisy observation of it. Image denoising is common image restoration problems that are useful by to many industrial and scientific applications. Image denoising prob- lems arise when an image is corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise which is common result of many acquisition channels. The white Gaussian noise can be harmful to many image applications. Hence, it is of great importance to remove Gaussian noise from images.
